linum not working on startup with viper mode (emacs)

Question

My .emacs file:

;; viper mode default
(setq viper-mode t)
(require 'viper)

;; add to load path
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elisp/")

;; line number
(require 'linum)
(global-linum-mode 1)
(setq linum-format "%4d \u2502 ") ;; add spacing between numbering and text

When I comment out viper settings, line numbers show up as soon as I open up a file. When I enable viper on startup, line numbers do not show, I must do M-x linum-mode manually.

Answer 1

Maybe a silly suggestion, but did you try to switch them around?
